I am a PhD in Entomology.I worked for about 34 years in Department of Agricultural Extension,Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council and Dhaka City Corporation of Bangladesh.
I served in CABI for one year as the Associate and played the role of Country Coordinator for Bangladesh.
I acquired expertise in agricultural extension,technology transfer,research management,pest management, entomology,plant clinic and climate change.
Currently,I am involved with development of agriculture,ICT,education,health,science,technology,policy and environment through my participation with international and national organizations,universities
and online forums.I contribute articles,poems and stories in a number of social media and websites.
I am the owner of a website,www.connecttask.com which is chiefly dedicated to development,knowledge management , technology transfer and literature.
This member participated in the following Forums
Foro Forum: 2013 CTA ICT OBSERVATORY “Strengthening e-Agriculture Strategies in ACP Countries”
Question 5 (opens 5 Mar.)
This is a great contribution for finalizing recommendations.
Thanks to the contributor.
The details mentioned here may be useful for the participants.
Question 6 (opens 6 Mar.)
The experience of the Philippines may be treasure for many developing countries.
However,models/initiatives of other countries may also be considered.
Question 3 (opens 28 Feb.)
I like to know how the agricultural extension service delivery operates.
Question 4 (opens 4 Mar.)
In my opinion,the problem of the adoption of strategy/policy is perhaps universal in the developing countries.The question of top down approach also stems from the same problem.
As the most technologies and systems of ICT and e-agriculture have originated in developed countries
we may find the best ways to utilize them in the context of a developing country.I think utilizing the good knowlege base of the world is a right of the peoples of developing countries as the peoples of the developed ones.
Question 2 (opens 26 Feb.)
I think you can take more time to assess the state of ICT strategies in Mauritius.
Question 1 (opens 25 Feb.)
existing capacity and expected development.It may not be possible to fix the e-agriculture strategies at higher level unless reqisite technological and finacial capacity are attained.There must be proper evaluation after introduction of any e-agricultural intervention in a particulr area to see how effective the intervention.
It would be wise to introduce e-agriculture intervention in pilot or small scale at the beginning and expanding to larger areas based on the evaluation.
Many factors should be considered in finalizing e-agriculture strategies.Technological,financial,cultural,geographical and environmental aspects are few of them.Any country can't afford to introduce the e-agricultural interventions just on whims.Creation of efficient manpower,infrastructure and relevant policy will take considerable investment,expertise and time.
In view of all these points,I strongly feel that e-agriculture strategies is needed for the agricultural sector to fully realize the benefits of ICTs.
